Nothing wrong with flying the 13 star, Betsy Ross flag today (I would if I had one). I do, however, have one on a t-shirt that I proudly wear around this time of the year. It shows support for history, and our historic win. It's the first real American flag, and imo the most beautiful. I personally wish it was never changed.
